Fair enough. There might be some niche use cases where the results might be acceptable. But with everything I've seen I don't trust "AI" with anything.

I'm with you there, I guess I don't fully disagree. I have coworkers who use AI for like 80% of their work and I don't get it. Half the time I feel like they spend more time figuring out what it did and fixing it versus they could've done it themselves from scratch faster (...or maybe they couldn't?)

I'd say my use is closer to 10% for raw code and maybe 25% for intelligent tab completions. The black box of outputs just kinda weirds me out, even if I can see a diff.
